oil cooler for Nomads?

trosco · 07-02-2009, 09:17 AM

I asked this question in another thread and then thought that it would make more sense to post this thread.
Our bikes only hold 3 quarts of oil. OK, 3.3 qts for you obsessive-compulsive types. Our design, wet sump with no external exchange tank for cooling, is not the best for controlling oil temps or maintaining oil life. Water cooling makes a big difference and I may just be a belts and suspenders type but I have been looking for a way to put a external oil cooler on my bike (2007 Nad). I have not found one. Anyone had any luck doing that?
Thanks all.
